By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

On Tuesday, May 30th, the PBR Kansas and Missouri staffs converged at Shawnee Mission East high school in Kansas to host the Building Champions Scout Day. This event featured over 110 athletes representing the 2024-to-2027 grad classes in both states. Those in attendance participated in a pro-style workout in front of our staff, gathering unrivaled data with the help of our tech partners at TrackMan, Blast Motion, and Swift.

Today, with the help of our partners at TrackMan and Blast Motion, we’ve compiled leaderboards to highlight which names had the most impressive batted ball data, as well as swing metrics, too. You’ll find those leaders, below.
